Amid it all, Perry’s influence in Congress has since grown.

He is now the chairman of the Freedom Caucus, a hardline faction of conservatives that exerts outsize influence on the GOP majority. Several members of the group were instrumental in the ouster of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy this fall, and its members remain closely aligned with Trump.

When will any of these people face consequences?

They really don't care about mods, do they?

General Mills Inc., Kellogg Co., and Nestle SA were the ones who sued.

So basically, I've been rooting for a giant asteroid to hit the plaintiff and defendant tables mid trial.

Genre fatigue. Too formulaic now as well.

That's implying that the Lemmy devs are focused on new features.

I haven't ever seen any user requested feature implemented.

I'm sure it played a part

I'd like a way to block " X " posts. The filters seem to strip leading and trailing spaces from the keywords.

I use Sync and if you had put Musk or Twitter in the headline, I'd never have seen this.

What sucks is that I can't block "x" because too many other headlines have X in the word and the filter strips leading and trailing spaces from the keyword.

Honest question. I feel like I've seen this same story 5 times already... is it being reposted a lot?

 

The cucumbers are going crazy in Zone 6a Rhode Island.

 

Looking forward to fruiting

 

My corn is coming in.

 

These are over 10 feet tall and even longer in length. The loofahs are in the back.

 

I saw a video on a NC garden and he said his garden was almost done producing in mid-July.

My Rhode Island garden is just taking off.

What is your growing season like?

 

Northern Rhode Island

 

Beefsteak tomatoes

 

Two pumpkins are getting big

No peppers yet.

The loofah vines are over 7 feet already

So many green tomoates

 

I use a hook trellis for my tomatoes, cucumbers and vine vegetables.

 

Rash Treatment and prevention

If you have been (or, think you may have been) exposed to poison oak or poison ivy plants, washing with a cleanser designed to remove urushiol (rash-causing oil from the plants) within 8 hours after exposure will help remove the resin before a rash begins.

There are two brands I swear by. Zanfel and Tecnu. Zanfel is expensive. At $50 for a small tube, I only use it after I get a rash. It has a gritty texture and really helps relieve the itch. After I've been in the yard doing things that may have exposed me, I always use the cheaper Tecnu. It's about $15 a tube and you get more of it. I wash everywhere with it. I mean, everywhere I may have touched.

Eradication

Poison ivy is a perennial. You have to kill it down to the roots.

Poison Ivy still has the urushiol oil on dry leaves. Urushiol WILL be carried in the smoke when it's burned. Urushiol is on the stems and roots, not just the leaves. It's less, but it's there. Don't burn poison ivy, you can wind up in the hospital. Don't pull it out, you will get it on you somehow.

To eradicate poison oak and poison ivy chemically, use an herbicide that contains glyphosate, triclopyr, or a 3-way herbicide that contains 2,4-D amine, dicamba, and mecoprop. Ortho GroundClear Poison Ivy & Tough Brush Killer works great. I hate poison sprays, since I'm a beekeeper, but I make an exception for poison ivy because it kills the plant down to the roots and it doesn't come back.

You can kill poison ivy without harsher chemicals by dissolving one cup of salt, one tablespoon of white vinegar, and one tablespoon of dish soap in a gallon of water. Spray it with a spray bottle. It may come back the next year with this method. Remember where it was so you can do it again.

I also like to use old rugs, tarps and cardboard to smother the plants. Leave them in place until there is nothing but bare dirt left. It may still come back.

You can also rent goats. Yes, goats. They love it. It may still grow back.
